Starke Gemälde von Roos van der Vliet, die Fotorealismus und vor allem viele Haare in die Portrait-Malerei bringen. Die niederländische Künstlerin erschafft beeindruckende Strukturen und weiß vor allem mit Lichteffekten und Schattierungen umzugehen. Hier eine kleine Auswahl aus ihrem aktuellen Online-Portfolio.
„Although she doesn’t consider herself a hyperrealist, she does get lost in the details every time she paints. She wants to get so close to the reality she’s presenting, that it almost feels real. The eyes must look back, hair must look like it’s touchable. It has something to do with the feeling of alienation she gets when looking at the world around her. Life is so enigmatic, and by watching it from close up, reproducing that reality, it seems to give her more control over it. Like when she’s creating something real, it makes her more real. Roos is merely known for her ‘Storyteller’ portraits in which women stare through the confines of their hair with a striking gaze. By letting these portraits speak to the viewer in a non-verbal language, their piercing eyes almost force the viewer to stand still and look back.“ (Artist Statement)
